Robbie Augspurger has captured the spirit of the '80s in a series of portraits titled 'Glamour & Headshots I and II' that recreate the look of the decade. Many of the portraits even include props. Augspurger uses authentic equipment, including a 30-year-old school portrait light kit. The images are retouched and edited after they've been captured to resemble photos taken three decades ago. The results are striking, with an air of nostalgia that's missing from most newer portraits or selfies. They're a fantastic exploration of not only the era that they emulate, but also what can be done when mixing new and old technology. ...

The world is truly a beautiful place. As graphic artists, we see the beauty everywhere we look. It inspires us. Encourages us. And helps shape the many artistic projects that endlessly flow from our own colorful minds.
Not only does the world inspire us; we inspire each other. Artists feed off of other artists’ design energy. It fuels our creativity and sparks our passion. The end result is a planet full of designs as varied in style and substance as the artists who created them. And that’s where we come in.
